D =
Vx² -
4
- 8x + 16 +x
(Type an expression.)
The interval of interest of the function is (-o,0).
(Simplify your answer. Type your answer in interval notation.)
The point on the parabola y = 4 - x that is closest to the point (4,4) is (1.13,2.72)'.
(Type an ordered pair. Round to two decimal places as needed.)
